Honestly, Man...........

"You put so much pressure on yourself." Pat has said that to me in times of stress, especially when driving and directions aren't accurate or change due to detours. I guess I like the feeling of comfort and security that comes from knowing what's ahead and how I can get there using the least amount of thinking and adaptation, but when things come up, that level of control disappears. I can see, looking back, where this has happened in other areas of life. Is it that I feel others are counting on me knowing what's going on, or does it come from my tendency to act before thinking, or seeing everything in black and white, all-or-nothing? I know I over react at times, but not as often as I used to (there's some justification for you). Well, that and a buck will get you coffee. I need to earnestly give all that to God, and allow the chips to fall where they may. Life is too short to fret over everything, so let's choose our battles carefully, sticking with the ones we can do something about.
